[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who said a JD is clearly a bachelor's degree. You can make any argument about how hard you worked or the fact that you need a bachelor's degree first (though that's actually not the case everywhere), but the cold hard fact is that it is technically a bachelor's degree. it still can help you make a lot of money of course.[/quote] No accrediated law school in the US would admit you without a bachelor's degree. Although some states like NY used to let you "read law" - i.e., apprentice/self study - for admission to the bar instead of goig to law school, the law that permitted that in NY was changed some years ago. You cannot practice law in the US without at least getting a US LL.M. following a foreign law degree. It is not a bachelors degree. JD stands for Juris Doctor - or doctor of laws. An LL.B., which is not the degree issued by US law schools, is a bachelor of laws.[/quote]
